Física e pintura: Dimensões de uma relação e suas potencialidades no ensino de física

Abstract

This article discusses possible uses of the relations between physics and painting in high school. Based on the official proposals for education, which already incorporate the need to revise the usual approach of physics concepts, and proposals of other authors who claim the need to give other meanings to physical concepts, we show how the development of physics and painting indicate rapprochements, and how they can contribute to the understanding of concepts of physics and other disciplines as well as for understanding the reality in its broadest sense. © Sociedade Brasileira de Física.
